Thanks so much everyone, I will definitely keep a time lapse and please keep chiming in with suggestions as there is no one that knows everything and we all can learn from each other to make this hobby fun and not a discouragement.

This is a really nice tank and I hope you have much success with it.

What kind of fish specifically will go in it?

I think I saw that tank on CL? Good stuff man, that's a monster. Hopefully it will not break the wallet if you go full reef!

That looks so amazing - I'd love to have a house big enough for an 8.5 ft tank. I hope you'll post pictures along the way!

that's a lot of tank, and a BIG move from a 55 to a 500 gallon, lot of work, a water change can be an investment a lot more humidity from evaporation, in the house, more heat, well a lot more of everything, it can also add up to a lot of pleasure for you and the family as well.

I wish you well with it. It is probably better that you are going to stay FOWLR for the near future, a 500 gallon reef can be quite expensive to maintain properly. Good luck with it for sure and keep the pictures coming.
